As someone whose instance is already on your list, I greatly support this! Everyone should definitely use this list, and that’s an unbiased opinion.

I’m not sure Honda has developed a system like that yet. It’s mostly associated with European vehicles, from what I’ve seen.

What crazy is that, due to the US’ outdated laws around headlights, we aren’t allowed to have the best headlight technology. Matrix/Adaptive headlights can turn off just the portion of headlights aiming at other vehicles, meaning the driver gets full brights, and doesn’t blind other drivers. It’s the best of both worlds. It’s super cool tech, but not allowed in the US. Some cars sold here even have the hardware, but have it disabled due to regulations, with the headlights just functioning as normal dumb headlights.

I fully support having loads of light in a room, four 150w equivalents sounds awesome for cleaning or working on a project, but put that shit on a dimmer, of course making sure they’re dimmable LEDs. Also, of course, like 3000-4000K color temp (unless they’re in a bathroom or kitchen where 5000K is acceptable imo)

People just don’t take the time to learn about and understand things, lighting included. Of course, it isn’t helped by misleading marketing and such.

As a flashlight enthusiast that understands beam patterns and lighting pretty well, it frustrates me to no end how much light we throw into the sky for no reason. Just point stuff at the ground in a floodyish beam pattern. There’s no reason to throw light in a 180° pattern, let alone anything more than that.

Lutris has always been a bit hit-or-miss for me, I avoided it unless it was the only option, as it only worked half the time. I don’t want it to come off like it shouldn’t exist, as stuff making Linux easier to use is great, but I don’t use it at all in my current workflows.

It is kinda nuts that Epic isn’t as good as Steam still. More competition is more gooder, but Epic isn’t really competing. Of course, I’d also rather the competition not be such a terrible company. I’d love to see more from GOG, I do remember reading that GOG might be coming to Linux natively, which would be awesome.

When my partner tried it, it simply didn’t support her multiple monitors. Kubuntu just worked. Just an anecdote, of course, and I haven’t had time to try it again since.

I haven’t watched an ad on YouTube in years.

Yeah, tbf Linus hasn’t had a great, or even ok experience with any Linux distro…

Are you and I watching the same YouTube? People are making really cool stuff, as they always have and always will, and that stuff happens to be in YouTube right now.

Sure doesn’t seem like it, from my personal experience, as well as Linus of Linus Tech Tips’ experiences. Doesn’t mean we can’t root for the company when they throw their weight behind a good cause.

It really is hard to fathom, but I think it has a high likely hood of happening some day. I also think it’s why YouTube hasn’t been enshittified more than it has been, they know that it’s a possibility.

That’s incredibly fair

I agree in general, but when it comes to YouTube and the creator economy I do partially disagree.

You aren’t locked into anything, you can just go somewhere else. It isn’t like Netflix and the other million subscription services where they hold all of the power, that’s the beauty of independant online video creation; the creators have the power. If YT becomes enshittified enough, creators will leave to somewhere else. As it is, I currently watch some videos on PeerTube, some on YouTube, some on Nebula, and some on other platforms. People do struggle with using multiple websites across the internet, preferring to stick to a core few websites, but for their favorite creators I believe they’d branch out.

They can be helpful when you enjoy playing a game but run out of stuff to do. I hunt for them in Mini Motorways, Forza Horizon, and a few other games. Most games I ignore them completely though.

Or to come to terms with needing to pay for the services you use. YouTube has a paid option that supports the platform and creators much more that watching ads.

Of course, I also upload my videos to PeerTube. Seems like the best alternative I’ve seen thus far.

Didn’t Transport Fever 2 have a native Linux version? Really cool.

I also love when I buy something off of Etsy believe it to be hand made, and it ends up being a dropshipped piece of garbage.
